New GOP Rules?

I found this on Page 4 of the Conversation Page and "What you said about" in the December 16th issue 2013 of Time Magazine. It makes a good point that you cannot win elections by Cheerleading failure which is exactly what Republicans are doing to the Obama Administration. It would be like all of us in the U.S. were in a lifeboat while the Republican Party watched democrats bailing out the boat and the Republicans kept saying we were failing and we were all going to drown. Don't they realize that they will drown too?

Begin quote:
"New GOP Rules. Mike Murphy's Dec. 9 column calling Obamacare a jackpot for Republicans prompted hundreds of comments on Time.com and Twitter, many of them angry. Dawn Kucera of Hendersonville, N.C. wrote, "On a single page, Mike Murphy encapsulates all the problems the GOP is facing. He makes the case for needing new ideas and new policies, but offers none." On Time.com joplingirl wrote, "Cheerleading for failure is never a winning strategy. the sheer force of negative behavior within the Republican Party is why their struggle will remain epic." end quote from:

The problem with the Republican Party as I see it is they want to believe it is still somewhere between 1950s with Eisenhower through the 1980s with Reagan but both are long gone. They don't seem to have ideas that reasonate with enough of the American people anymore and the white demographic that fuels the Republican party becomes smaller and smaller every single day. So, unless they nominated someone like a Christie (governor of New Jersey) it is very unlikely that they could win another presidential election. So, Republican politics are now only a winning combination in local elections but not national ones like Presidential elections. This is the real painful and desperate problem the Republican party is having long term.

In other words unless the Republican party seriously reinvents itself it will just stay irrelevant on the Presidential stage at the very least on into the future.
